Context examples
As I write this to you, I am thinking of the old black-and-white 1960s TV show Dragnet and Sargent Joe Friday, whose signature phrase was, Just the facts, ma’am. (According to Google, however, Sargent Friday never said those exact words, but everyone attributes the line to Sargent Friday.) Anyway, if you keep Joe Friday’s words in mind, you will do really well—focus on the facts.
